Newspaper style was the last of all the styles of written literary English to be recognized as a specific form of writing standing apart from other forms. English newspaper writing dates from the 17th century. At the close on the 16 th century short news pamphlets began to appear. Any such publication either presented news from only on e source or dealt with one specific subject.
The first of any regular series of English newspapers was the “Weekly Newes”, which first appear on May 23, 1622 .
The early English newspaper was principally a vehicle of information. Commentary as a regular future found its way into the newspapers later. But as far back as the middle of the 18th century the British newspaper was very much like what it is today, carrying on its pages news, both foreign and domestic, advertisements, announcements and articles containing comments.
